Someone wanted to see photos of pre Amtrack C&NW trains coming into the depot in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Here are two such photos from the archives of the C&NW Historical Society. The large photo is an A. Robert Johnson photo while the small photo was taken by Jim Scribbins in 1966.
Jeff Ash: My dad was the REA Express agent in charge of the Sheboygan office at that time. The REA Express office was at the south end of the depot, on the right in both photos. Passenger service to Sheboygan ended in May 1971 and my dad's office closed in November 1971. |

Someone wanted to see a photo of the C&NW roundhouse located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Sad to say but the only one we hold of that facility is when it was mostly abandoned by the time this photo was taken by Ed Selinsky in June 1963. Steam locomotive were 99% off the system by then and such buildings were no longer necessary. We do hold paperwork about the building at our archives. |

CNW Sheboygan, WI Turntable 9-1968 in color. That is the Schultz-Sav-O warehouse wall standing at far left. Noting this location can you see why the track there today is called the roundhouse lead? |

Here is the turntable in color a short time after the roundhouse was demolished. |
